Candace Cameron Bure is officially a double grandmother-in-waiting. The beloved Full House actress, who turned 50 in April 2026, is riding the highest wave of family joy she has ever experienced — and this time, it’s her son Lev Bure and his wife Elliott who are behind the wonderful news.
Lev and Elliott Bure Are Expecting Their First Baby
In a heartfelt Instagram announcement that sent fans and celebrity friends into a frenzy, Candace Cameron Bure revealed that her eldest son, Lev Bure, 26, and his wife Elliott Bure, are expecting their first child together. The news dropped just weeks after Candace had already announced that her daughter, Natasha Perry, was also pregnant with her first baby — making this a truly extraordinary month for the Bure family.
Candace’s reaction said it all. Taking to Instagram, the Full House star captioned photos of Lev and Elliott’s pregnancy announcement with pure, unfiltered joy: “Are you KIDDING?!! Another grandbaby on the way!!!!!” She continued, “Does life get any better?!!! CandyGram x2 = fully ignited. Congratulations Lev and @elliottpbure, we are still pinching ourselves!!”
Elliott, a marketing manager, also shared the exciting news on her own Instagram, posting sonogram photos with the caption: “Baby Bure coming soon!!!!!!”
Who Are Lev and Elliott Bure?
Lev Valerievich Bure, 26, is the eldest of Candace’s three children with husband Valeri “Val” Bure, a Russian-American former NHL hockey player. Lev and Val married in 1996 when Candace was just 20 years old, and together they have built a deeply faith-centered family.
Lev has largely stayed out of the Hollywood spotlight, unlike his famous mother. After earning a bachelor’s degree in biblical and theological studies from Liberty University, he has worked in ministry and was previously involved in the family’s Bure Family Wines business in Napa Valley. In a touching moment that Candace has shared publicly, Lev once delivered a 45-minute impromptu sermon on marriage to his parents during a difficult season in their relationship — a testament to his deep faith and maturity.
Lev married Elliott Dunham in January 2024, in a ceremony held at Charles Krug Winery in Napa Valley, California. Candace was overjoyed at the time, writing: “Words cannot express the joy we have felt this weekend celebrating the marriage of our son and his bride Elliott. We gained a beautiful daughter and a wonderful family to do life with. My heart is so full.”
Double Baby News for Candace Cameron Bure
What makes this moment even more remarkable is that it follows closely on the heels of another major family announcement. Just weeks earlier in May 2026, Candace announced that her daughter Natasha Perry (née Bure), 27, and her son-in-law Bradley Steven Perry — best known for his role on the Disney Channel sitcom Good Luck Charlie — are also expecting their first child together. The couple had married in a romantic garden ceremony at Calamigos Ranch in Malibu, California, in September 2025.
The back-to-back announcements left the whole family in a state of happy disbelief. Natasha, now both an expecting mother and an aunt-to-be, summed it up perfectly in the comments of her mother’s post about Lev and Elliott, simply writing: “Baby party started.”
The ‘CandyGram’ Nickname Is Finally Official
For years, Candace had been dreaming up a grandmother nickname. She famously revealed on her podcast that her children vetoed her original idea, saying: “You know what I want… but my kids have veto’d? I want CandyGram. My name’s Candy, and I’m a grandma — I’m CandyGram!” Her kids called it “so dumb” — but with two grandbabies on the way, Candace herself declared: “CandyGram in full effect.”
Friends and fans rushed to celebrate the moment. The Great American Family network commented “YAY YAY YAY! Congratulations!!!,” while one fan couldn’t help but reference Candace’s iconic character with: “OH MY LANTA! DJ Tanner is a GRAMMA!”
A Season of Joy for Candace Cameron Bure
The double pregnancy news comes during what has been one of the most fulfilling chapters of Candace’s life. Now 50, she continues to work with the Great American Family network, has starred in holiday films alongside daughter Natasha, and recently announced she will head back on tour this fall for a live event series centered around faith, wellness, and honest conversations about life’s joys and challenges.
With two grandchildren on the way — one from Natasha and Bradley, and now one from Lev and Elliott — Candace Cameron Bure is embracing the next beautiful season of her life with open arms. The woman who once said she just wanted “cuddles and kisses, and to munch on little chubby legs and hands and feet” is now about to get exactly that, times two.
